Question

Assertion (A): `pH` of `HCI` solution is less than that of acetic acid of the some concentartion.
Reason (R) : In equimolar solution, the number of titrable protons present in `HCI` is less than that present in acetic acid.
A. if both assertion and reason are correct and reason is correct explanation for assertion.
B. if both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion.
C. if assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
D. if assertion and reason boht are incorrect.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - C
Correct reason. In equimolar solutions the number of ionisable `H^(+)` ions in HCI is more than in acetic acid `(CH_(3)COOH)`.
